Sam Kovzan

In a thrilling and emotional return to full capacity at Children's Mercy Park, Sporting Kansas City treated 20,086 fans to a riveting 3-2 victory over Huston Dynamo FC on Saturday night. The space below provides a collection of the remarkable sights and sounds that punctuated one of the greatest nights in stadium history.

Still get goosebumps watching this video from @SportingKC as they welcome back a full house tonight of close to 20k. What the Illig family has done with this franchise is an example that many in America should try to emulate. @ESPNPlus now.#SportingKC #HoldItDown #SKCvHOU #MLS pic.twitter.com/1hfuHBMp4d

Just 8️⃣ games into the season, #SportingKC has 4️⃣ comeback wins.

That's our most since 2007 and one shy of the team record of 5️⃣ comeback wins set in 1996 and 2007.

I took in tonight’s match from the @KCCauldron. I’ll be writing about the experiences of being back in the stadium. This was an unreal hit from Busio. Cauldron was lit after. What an atmosphere tonight. pic.twitter.com/Qn2mhdnp9u
